58.Sh DESCRIPTION
59.Fn kvm_getfiles
60returns a (sub-)set of the open files in the kernel indicated by
61.Fa kd .
62The
63.Fa op
64and
65.Fa arg
66arguments constitute a predicate which limits the set of files
67returned.  No predicates are currently defined.
68.Pp
69The number of processes found is returned in the reference parameter
70.Fa cnt .
71The files are returned as a contiguous array of file structures,
72preceded by the address of the first file entry in the kernel.
73This memory is owned by kvm and is not guaranteed to be persistent across
74subsequent kvm library calls.  Data should be copied out if it needs to be
75saved.
76.Sh RETURN VALUES
77.Fn kvm_getfiles
78will return
79.Dv NULL
80on failure.
